BBCode Quick Reference

A Quick Reference for BBCode-
I thought it might be a good idea to have a reference for the BBCode that can be used on the site. These are the main ones that I know of. Hopefully I haven't missed anything important.

I thought this was going to be about the BBC news service and was really confused as to why it was here for a moment.

 

Yeah, I've only ever seen it written as BBCode or BBcode. I too thought it would be about British television before curiosity overcame my natural laziness.

 

I say @seebs old chap, any chance you could see your way clear to making this a sticky at the top of Meta? It's bally useful and I'm always having to hunt for the damn thing. Cheers, old boy.

 

Um, er, yes, well you appear to be right. Got to say it's not obvious though. otoh, sticking it in meta may not be obvious either. Bum.

edit: and of course I wrote that response before I'd seen that you'd done it! Shut up jaob!
